The best personalised mugs for boys are the ones with his name or a message that makes them his. These picks cover a First Holy Communion, a football fan and an animal lover, each made to order with the wording you choose.

Personalised Boys First Holy Communion Mug (£9.49)

Perfect for a First Holy Communion. This ceramic mug has his name on the front and four short message lines on the back, so the day has a keepsake he can use again and again. The words On your First Holy Communion are already printed, and all the text prints in fixed upper case. It's a lovely way to mark the moment for a godson, grandson or son who is making his First Holy Communion.

Best for: Boys making their First Holy Communion.

Personalised Football Badge Black Handled Mug (£9.99)

A fun way to say thank you, or simply to show he's a football fan. This black handled ceramic mug has his name printed inside a football themed badge, so it stands out on the table. It holds 11 oz, and the inside is black, so it suits a morning cup of something warm before kick-off. A good choice for dad, a son or a brother who never misses a match.

Best for: Football fans and dads.

Personalised Highland Cow Mug - Boy (£9.49)

Ideal for a cosy night in, this Highland cow mug suits a boy who loves animals, or a Highland cow fan. It's ceramic, with a Highland cow design and his name above it in a script font. The name prints just as you type it, so type it the way you want it to appear. It measures 9.2 x 11 x 8 cm, so it's a good size for a warm drink. Hand washing is recommended.

Best for: Animal lovers and Highland cow fans.

Personalised Monster Truck Drinks Bottle (£11.99)

Simple, useful and fun, this monster truck drinks bottle is a good pick for a boy heading back to school. It holds 400 ml and is made from aluminium and plastic, with a monster truck design. You can add any first name, so the bottle is easy to tell apart from the rest. It's not dishwasher or microwave safe, so keep it out of both, and check the spelling before you buy.

Best for: Truck fans heading back to school.

Three personalised gaming signs suit a teenage gamer's room: a blue plaque, a Do not disturb sign and a gamer warning sign. What ties them together is that you choose the wording, and the framed football card suits a sporty teen instead.

Personalised Gaming Blue Plaque (£13.99)

A clever pick when you're stuck. This blue plastic gaming plaque measures 19.7 cm square. Four lines let you add a name or a short message, and all the wording prints in uppercase. It has screw holes, but screws are not included, so keep a set handy. It's a simple way to say you know exactly what his room is for, and it suits a brother, son or friend who loves his games.

Best for: Teens who love gaming.

Personalised Gamer Do Not Disturb Metal Sign (£13.99)

A gift that says you listened. This aluminium gamer sign has fixed Do not disturb text, plus three lines of your own words. The first line is short and the next two run longer. All the wording appears in upper case. At 19.4 x 30.5 cm, it's a bold sign for a teen who needs his space during a match. Fixings aren't supplied, but double sided adhesive tabs are recommended.

Best for: A teen who needs space.

Personalised Gamer Warning Metal Sign (£13.99)

An easy win for a birthday. This aluminium warning sign has fixed Gaming room text and a friendly warning line, with his name added in fixed upper case. Leave out the 's after his name, as it's already fixed. It's a playful notice for a brother, son or friend who loves his games. Fixings aren't supplied, so double sided adhesive tabs are recommended.

Best for: Brothers and sons who game.

Personalised Photo Football Card Black Frame (£15.99)

A little luxury for him. This football card comes mounted and framed in a large black portrait frame, measuring 30.6 x 38.2 cm. You add your photo, plus a name, a number and a position, all shown in fixed capitals. It's a proud way to mark a birthday for a young player, or for a dad who loves the game.

Best for: A young footballer's birthday.

A personalised teddy, watch, photo frame or wooden dad ornament can all make a lovely birthday keepsake for a boy. Each one lets you add your own words, so the gift says exactly who it's for. Pick by his age and how he'll use it.

Personalised Boys Teddy Bear (£18.99)

Sweet, simple and personal, this plush teddy bear is a soft gift for a little boy. It measures 18 x 18 x 15 cm and has six message lines, so you can add a short birthday wish. It's suitable for ages 36 months and over, so it suits young children well. Lovely for a birthday, or just to say thank you.

Best for: Little boys' birthdays and thank-yous.

Personalised Holy Communion Pillar Candle (£11.99)

A gift with a story for a boy making his First Holy Communion. This white pillar candle has a church design, with his name and the date added. Pick pink or blue, and it comes in an organza bag. It burns for about 58 hours, so the day can be marked with a glow for a good while. Check the spelling of his name before you order, as it's made just for him.

Best for: First Holy Communion celebrations.

Personalised Boys Watch with Blue Canvas Strap (£25.49)

Practical and pretty, this boys watch has a blue canvas strap with adjustment holes, so it can be fitted to his wrist. The clock face is 3 cm, and batteries are included, so it's ready to wear. Five lines of text can be added to the watch, and it's presented in a gift box. It suits a birthday for a boy or young man, or any occasion.

Best for: Boys and young men, any day.

Personalised Eighteen Diamante Glass Frame (£18.99)

Nice to unwrap, nicer to use, this eighteen photo frame holds a landscape 6x4 print. The mirrored glass has a diamante effect, and a stand comes in the box. Two message lines let you mark his big day in your own words. The word Eighteen is standard text on the frame. Wall fittings are not included. It's made just for him, so check the spelling first.

Best for: Eighteenth birthday celebrations.

Personalised Twenty One Glass Photo Frame (£18.99)

A great gift idea for him at 21. This frame has a diamante effect mirrored glass and holds a landscape 6 by 4 inch print, with a stand included. Two lines of text let you add a message to go with his photo, and Twenty One is standard text. Wall fittings are not included. Please don't use all capitals, as the message prints as entered.

Best for: Twenty-first birthday celebrations.

Personalised Son's First Hero Dad Ornament (£13.99)

This wooden dad ornament is handmade with slight imperfections, which is part of its charm. It measures 20 x 8.5 x 2 cm and carries the fixed words A Son's first hero. Two message lines let you add your own words for his dad. It suits Father's Day as well as a dad's birthday.
